5 bleeps flashing red light and failure to start????

Answers :

The details of what to do in your circumstance is in the previous link. Most likely it's either a failure of a motherboard component or a failure to read file.

5 beeps is a mainboard failure. More specifically a processer CPU chip problem. Take the cover off and make sure your Processor isn't loose.

The processor is underneath the fan. More importantly, this problem could be caused by the fan not working. Make sure your fan is always turning at a high speed. Not just barely turning or completely stopped

My CPU config. is Pentium 3 750 Mhz , RAM 512,
